Description

In a league of its own, nestling peacefully above the historic port of Dartmouth, tucked away in a leafy corner of Norton Park with spectacular far-reaching green Devon views, Bolthole Cabin is a luxury, contemporary, self-catered chalet holiday home, re-built and beautifully hand-finished to an extremely high standard. For lovers of style and comfort the nautical inspired exterior welcomes you into its calming interior full of soft colours, quality oak and beautiful fabrics.

The open-plan Sitting Room has an atmospheric flame effect 'warm front' fire that draws you in on cooler days but is always in competition with the open green Devon views from the large windows that will likely keep you entranced for most of your stay. The luxury bespoke kitchen is a real highlight, hand-painted with hidden built in details including life's little essentials like recycling bins and a dishwasher. There are two Bedrooms, both doubles, one of them built-in cabin-style with drawers and storage underneath so you can tuck your cases away and make the place your own. This room also boasts a space designed for use as a dressing table or a work station if you need to work away from the office. The second double bedroom enjoys a window that looks out over the beautiful view.

Bolthole Cabin offers guests stylish luxury with easy parking and is the perfect solution for those wishing to stay a few minutes' drive from Dartmouth's waterfront, with all its surrounding joys, at an affordable price.

"We have never stayed in a more homely and luxurious self-cater before, and what a beautiful setting. The 'bolthole' truly is a gem."

"Pure bliss and tranquillity. A beautifully presented cabin which is very well equipped. The finishing touches were gorgeous."

With regret: Bolthole Cabin has an age restriction of 18 and over as there are no family facilities at Norton Park.

Please note: May be suitable for those with walking difficulties. Please discuss property's suitability prior to booking.

A wonderful stay at Bolthole Cabin. Only there for 3 days but it was perfect. Thank you.

October 2018

Yes and would stay here again. Only disappointment was no bus stop outside the park and buses were only every 2 hours. We used the park and ride which was a very good service for £5 a day

April 2018

The only thing, which was out of your control, was the weather, But that didn't stop us from enjoying the 'Bolthole Cabin' experience.

October 2017

Lovely welcome tray of goodies much appreciated. Bolthole was beyond our expectations. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and lovely views, we were very comfortable and hope to come back one day. If I were to be really picky ???? I would remove the large 227 number from the blind of the front door!

October 2017

We enjoyed are stay very much,and we hope to return in the not to distant future.

September 2017

We enjoyed our stay very much. The site was very quiet and peaceful and very handy for Sainsbury's and Park and Ride. No complaints, only compliments. Thank you.

August 2017

The bolthole cabin is a beautifully presented and comfortable holiday home. It is a real home from home. The owners obviously take pride in it. The welcome pack and selection of teas, coffee and condiments were much appreciated. The setting is beautiful and we have had a very restful stay.

July 2017

Absolutely loved it! So good while we were there we purchased our own one. Says it all

June 2017

It was home from home. Cannot fault anything with the accommodation or the location - everything was just perfect and both the welcome trays and finishing touches were very thoughtful and much appreciated. The owners had thought of everything. Such a lovely spot with stunning views from our lounge. Dartmouth's a very good place to stay in South Hams and we were able to easily get to all the places we planned to visit. We would definitely come back the next time we are in the West Country.

We did enjoy our stay - very nice cabin.

August 2016

Lovely cabin beautifully presented. Excellent location. We had a great holiday. Thank you.

November 2015

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Devon at the appropriately named Bolthole Cabin. It had everything we needed for a quiet Autumnal break. It was in a fabulous position for touring around the South Hams area and we would recommend this to anyone.

October 2014

What a fabulous place! Superbly furnished and tastefully decorated to a really high standard, with everything you could possibly need for a lovely relaxing stay. The views were amazing and location good for nearby Dartmouth park & ride & Sainsburys supermarket, and also as a base for touring around the beautiful South Hams area.

August 2014

Pleasantly surprised, everything was exactly as described and so much more. We couldn't fault anything. Quality linen, quality bedding everything was excellent.

August 2014

Bolthole Bliss, from the moment we arrived with welcome treats; brilliant sun filled days in and around Dartmouth; chilled out early evenings with a glass of wine complementing the views til the sunset over the horizon.

August 2014

We found the Bolthole fully equipped and wanting for nothing. A 'perfect getaway' with perfect views included. The flapjacks on arrival was a wonderful gesture after a long journey, and were very tasty!

August 2014

Excellent standard of accommodation, fully equipped with everything you could need and tastefully decorated. Thoughtful welcome items on arrival. Location of this chalet on the site is good and has lovely uninterrupted views across the countryside. Also it is in close proximity to the Park & Ride service to Dartmouth which was very useful. A lovely homely place for a holiday.

February 2014

THANK YOU FOR LETTING YOUR LOVELY CHALET. ALTHOUGH WE WERE ONLY HERE A FEW DAYS WE MANAGED TO FIT A LOT IN AND THE 'BOLTHOLE' WAS THE PERFECT PLACE TO ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE WORLD FROM. THE PLACE IS SO WELL FINISHED WITH EVERYTHING WE NEEDED AND WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO LEAVE. WE REALLY HOPE TO VISIT AGAIN SOON

February 2014

We agree with above, the flapjacks were lovely. The Cabin is great with everything you need for a very happy holiday. The setting is really nice with beautiful views. Dartmouth is also a really great place and all in all it's been a lovely place to stay. Thank you

February 2014

I've never stayed in a more homely and luxurious self-cater before and what a beautiful setting! This 'bolt hole' truly is a gem. I shall be recommending it to all my friends and will hopefully be back again myself. THANKS!

January 2014

Pure bliss and tranquility. A beautifully presented cabin which is very well equipped. The finishing touches were gorgeous! The setting is also really nice with beautiful views. Dartmouth is also a really great place, and all in all it was a lovely place to stay.

The Sportsman's Arms (2 miles)

A traditional country pub serving home cooked food as well as a popular carvery. Ample parking, a large beer garden and a children’s play area make this a great choice for all the family. Dogs welcome.

The Sportsman's Arms had been recommended to us by a previous guest - we were not disappointed! The food was excellent, and there's plenty of choice from the main menu, as well as many more choices from the daily specials board. All staff were very friendly. Efficient and attentive service. Definitely recommend.

June 2017

Lovely food, good service, great atmosphere and good music on music nights

The Windjammer Inn (2 miles)

Look out for hundreds of blooming flower boxes and hanging baskets and you will have found The Windjammer Inn. A family run pub with a great varied menu using an array of local fish and meat complimented by local ales and ciders and an extensive wine list.

Saveurs (2 miles)

A traditional French patisserie and café serving breakfast, lunch and early dinner. As well as beautifully created French cakes and pastries, a range of fresh bread, sandwiches, pizzas and light meals are available daily, either to eat in or take away.

Anzac Street Bistro (2 miles)

A pretty little bistro serving a Mediterranean menu with Polish influences using local seafood and meat as well as tasty vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds to the relaxed atmosphere.

This is our favourite restaurant in Dartmouth. It's a little gem. Food is superb and the atmosphere always good. The host Simon and hostess Aga are good fun and always bring warmth and charm to the place. To visit Dartmouth and not eat at the Anzac is a crime.

Dartmouth Golf & Country Club (2 miles)

Dartmouth is a particularly beautiful part of South Devon, and at the The Dartmouth Golf Club there are two courses to visit. It is one of the South West's most comprehensive golf resorts, and has been included in Golf Monthly's list of Great Britain and Ireland's best 80 courses. The Dartmouth Course is a more relaxing par 66, nine-hole experience and offers seven-day membership as an option. Meanwhile, the Championship Course is an 18-hole, 7,200 yard, par 72 course and has hosted the West Region PGA Championships on no less than six occasions. Dress codes apply and there is a bar and restaurant on site as well as a spa .

The Picnic Boat (2 miles)

Operating from the pontoon at Dartmouth, a trip out on the Picnic Boat is a great way to experience the beautiful scenery of the River Dart and enjoy some delicious food along the way. No soggy sandwiches here, guests can choose from a delicious menu of locally caught seafood; a huge array of salads, cheese and cooked meats; cream teas, breakfasts and lots more. The Picnic Boat is also fully licensed with a selection of wines, champagne and other drinks on offer.

Dartmouth Boat Hire (2 miles)

Boat-hire company in the centre of Dartmouth offering a range of rigorously maintained small motor boats and launches, perfect for a day messing about on the river. Boats are available to hire by the hour or by the day with all safety equipment included.

Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat Company (2 miles)

Giving you an alternative way to explore the interesting towns and beautiful countryside along the River Dart, the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat Company offers many different trips including the popular Round Robin including steam train, river boat and bus taking you from Dartmouth to Paignton and back again !

Dartmouth Castle (3 miles)

Dartmouth Castle has guarded the narrow entrance to the Dartmouth Harbour for over 600 years and today is an interesting and enjoyable attraction for all ages. Thanks to English Heritage’s restoration and careful upkeep, visitors can enjoy the wonderful position with breathtaking views across the estuary whilst learning the fascinating history of this fortress built to protect the harbour from invaders. There’s plenty to do inside the castle with grisly tales and interactive displays, and if the weather is fine you can take a river boat trip from the town quay up to the castle which makes a nice day out. After you have explored the castle you can visit the Castle tearooms for light lunches, cream teas or a glass of wine in the sunshine.

Blackpool Sands (5 miles)

Between Dartmouth and Slapton, Blackpool Sands is a beautiful shingle bay on the South West Coast Path, surrounded by evergreens and pine trees. It really is a treasure of a beach to visit while you’re in the area. Award-winning, the privately owned, blue flag beach boasts a sense of being in the Mediterranean on a good day in the summer, although a good jumper never goes amiss in this part of the world! You will no doubt not be surprised to hear that it is in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, however it also boasts ample facilities and things to do. There are showers, toilets and disabled facilities, as well as paddle board, kayak and wetsuit hire available for those wishing to earn their visit to The Venus Beach Café, where light bites and refreshments are served. The Venus Shop also sells all the bits and pieces you might want for fun and games on the beach if you have forgotten them or are in need of extra buckets and spades. The water at Blackpool Sands is known for being clean and clear and tested by the Environment Agency, and lifeguards are on hand in the summer (July to September) so there’s every reason to pop in for a dip. However, dogs are not allowed on the beach in the high season (12th March to 30th October) so keep the walking for the cooler months. There is parking available at the beach with seasonal charges, and you can find out more information on those from the Blackpool Sands information line on 01803 771800. This beach is easy to get to and quite literally fun and games for the whole family, as well as a beautiful place to visit at any time of the year to take in the view!

Parking charge between £3 - £8 depending on time of year, Also food good but e.g. Hawaiian Prawns (£9) consisted of 5 prawns. Not good value for money.

Broadsands Beach (5 miles)

In between Brixham and Paignton, this long, sandy beach is a popular spot with families, thanks to its sheltered waters, year-round facilities and easy parking. The Blue Flag beach is perfect for making sandcastles and searching for wildlife in the rockpools. There are toilets, and two places to get ice creams, coffees and soft drinks. What’s more, the car park is right by the beach, so there’s no need to lug your provisions a long way. Behind the pretty row of colourful beach huts, there’s a large grassy area, so don’t forget to pack a ball or rounders bat to keep the whole family entertained. Broadsands Beach is a popular dog walking spot throughout autumn and winter, but there is a seasonal dog ban during the summer months (1st May - 30th September).

Elberry Cove (5 miles)

Far from the bustling crowds of Paignton and Brixham’s bigger beaches, this small pebbly cove is a truly relaxing spot. The calm waters are great for swimming and are said to have been one of Agatha Christie’s favourite bathing spots. Elberry Cove even features in one of her crime thriller novels, The ABC Murders. This picture-perfect cove, surrounded by sloping wooded hillsides and crystal clear water, can only be accessed by the coast path, with the nearest carpark at Broadsands Beach. From here, it is only a 10 - 15 minute walk, but make sure to pack a picnic or grab a bite to eat at Broadsands Beach before you set off, as there aren’t any facilities at here. Dogs are welcome on the beach throughout the year.

Churston Cove (6 miles)

If you’re willing to venture off the beaten track, you’ll discover one of Brixham’s hidden gems, Churston Cove. Surrounded by sloping wooded hillsides, this beautiful little cove isn’t the easiest to get to, which makes it an idyllic, peaceful place to while away the day. The crystal clear water is safe for kids to paddle and play in, and is a popular swimming spot. Parking is available at Freshwater carpark, a 15-minute walk away. There are no toilet facilities or cafes, and the beach is accessed via a long, steep path, which is uneven in places, but this beautiful little cove is worth the effort. Churston Cove is dog-friendly all year round.

Fishcombe Cove (6 miles)

Take the coast path from Brixham and escape the crowds at Fishcombe Cove, a peaceful shingle cove, protected on all sides by tall red cliffs. Access to this little cove isn’t easy, via a steep path from Freshwater carpark, but it is definitely worth the effort. The clear, blue sea is sheltered and calm, making it a favourite with swimmers and kayakers. Fishcombe Cove is also a popular place for boats and yachts to moor up and make the most of the beautiful water. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a seal popping its head up to say hello. There is a café and toilets here, but both are only open during the summer months. Fishcombe Cove is dog-friendly all year round.
